I haven’t seen all seasons of the office yet, I admit, but from the poster, nothing is familiar with the office. in what way is it a spinoff?

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.

To successfully build good software, you’d have to be very good at telling the computer what to do. What’s another word for telling a computer what to do? Programming. Just learn how to program instead of learning how to “prompt”.

having thought about this for three days, my current status is: what the FUCK are we doing trying to ban social media for kids and not banning AI use? we are literally telling them not to use the computer to talk to their real friends but instead to the imaginary technology monetisable 'friends'.

The vice PM of Sweden, Ebba Busch, admittedly used 'AI' to find and verify a quote from a journalist - criticizing it in a televised speech. The quote was fake. She essentially now says the 'AI' lied to her. The story is wild. Did a writeup in Swedish and now thinking of doing one in English.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
